We Grew Up A Little Bit Lyrics

Artist: Harry Chapin
Album: Dance Band on the Titanic

We got married earlyAnd just a little bit lateBaby came too earlyBut some things just can't waitWe were just beginningBut it was very clearWe grew up a little bit that year

I caught on as a meter manYou were caught at homeWhen I started night schoolYou ended up aloneBut you had another babyWhile I had my careerAnd we grew up a little bitWe grew up a little bitWe grew up a little bit that year

They put me in a office jobA young man on the moveWe bought a house in Shaker HeightsYou supervised the moveWe were cashing checks, you were changing childrenWhile I played engineerAnd we were growing ever fasterEvery year

I got bored of kilowattsYou were tired of kidsI started staying out at nightAnd soon that's what you didAt parties we'd go seperatelyYou'd wiggle and I'd leerAnd we were growing fasterWe were growing ever fasterWe were growing ever faster every year

You learned to live in silenceI learned to live in liesAnd we both igored the empty spacesGrowing in our eyesYour breath became a gin and tonicMine became a beerAnd we grew up a little more last year

Today at work they passed me byAnd promoted John insteadI came home to find you'd wrecked the carI guess I lost my headWell, I can't believe I hit youBut the rage came on so strongAh, where did we go wrong?

As you sit there cryingI wonder who you areThe partner-stranger-friend and foeWho's come with me this farWe stand here in the ashesAnd I guess it is quite clearWe did not really grow too muchEach year

So you say we're going nowhereWell I know that's where we've beenStill I can't help wonderingCan we begin again?I feel so full of questionsCuriosity and fearBut could we grow a little bitCould we grow a little bitCan we grow a little bit this year?
